Last year during a hackathon I made Anatomed, a tool that let's you render 3D anatomy in your browser. Naturally, since I also use obsidian a lot I converted it into a plugin.
You write a code block:
```anatomed
region: median nerve
detail: related
```
and get a rotatable 3D model inline, showing only what you asked for. The legend toggles each structure, and clicking a structure opens (or creates) a `[[Median nerve]]` note, so anatomy links into the rest of your vault.
- about 3,500 named structures, English or Latin names
- `detail: isolated / related / regional` controls how much surrounding anatomy you see
- talks to one host only (the model files), no analytics or telemetry
Install: Settings → Community plugins → Browse → "Anatomed 3D Anatomy". Desktop only for now.
Hey hey! Just hit 3K notes in my med school + journal + everything-else vault. Super glad I found this wonderful piece of software. Sharing my graph view (the colours are just for fun)!!!
I've been using Obsidian on and off for 2 years and consistently for around 8 months. I've just entered my 4th year of med school (which is so exciting!!). I know connecting concepts across such a vast curriculum is a humongous task, but it just makes so much sense academically, and as a way to reflect on my own understanding.
From AI-generated slop to atomic notes, the minimum information principle, frontmatter, "100 plugins", then 10 plugins, and a whole lot of other stuff. For those starting out, just write things down. The thing just grows.
Wishing you all the best on your wonderful journeys!
Obsidian doesn't update themes on its own. A fix only reaches you if you open Settings → Appearance and click Check for updates. I make a theme (Tela) and shipped three releases in the last week, and it bugged me that they only reach people who remember to check.
So I made Theme Autoupdater. When Obsidian starts, it checks your installed community themes and installs the version Obsidian's own updater would.
Backup before every update - if anything goes wrong while writing, the old files go back
One-click rollback from the notice or the settings tab. The version you rolled back from is skipped until the next one comes out
Your edits are safe - if you've tweaked a theme's CSS, it won't be overwritten; you get told once instead
Themes only - they're just CSS, so an automatic update can't run code. Plugins are left alone
Hey folks, I have created a specific plugin just for my own needs. It's going to replace some apps I had in the past to control my financials, my tasks, and my physical exercises. It is going to provide a specific place to have all my data inside of it and make it easy for any AI to read and collect my personal data (not just for a specific piece of personal data, but to create some kind of insights).
I run Obsidian on a Mac--whatever the latest version is, no doubt.
Wanting a split screen, I opened a note in a new window, which worked very well. But now I always have two windows open when I'm running Obsidian.
If I close the second window, both of my windows close. If I quit the application (I have to quit it twice for some reason), both windows are there when I reopen.
I've taken to just minimizing the second window when I don't need it, so this isn't a huge deal, but there has to be a way to run just the one window without reinstalling the program, right?
Is there a way yet to export your canvas into pdfs??? I keep searching every couple of months for a plugin here and there and didn't find a workaround.
So I am starting my uni capstone. I have been using obsidian for very basic use for the past few years. I know it works on Markdown but I never made the effort to learn much.
I find its graph feature & all quite interesting and was thinking about using it to document all my research and problem approach methods. I also JUST learnt about obsidian publish ....
Is it seriously that easy to publish your stuff ? Will anyone be able to access my site forever ? Is obsidian alright for this, will it remain free ? I will crash if it crashes in a year
TGIF, and I have a quick and proper intro to my plugin Home Cards for you.
I designed Home Cards for my own use, to be something that I enjoyed and that added meaningfully to my Obsidian experience. When you open Obsidian for the first time after installing Home Cards, this experience already greets you: a brand new Home tab that serves as a front door to your vault.
Your new home screen awaits you.
This home screen is immediately customizable. The base of the new experience is a canvas that you can choose to keep plain, or embellish with one of several pre-built light and dark mode patterns, or even customize with an image of your own.
Customization options for your background
Your home page looks great both in light as well as in dark mode.
Dark mode, rows layout.
You can customize how you wish to see your notes on your canvas. View them as cards or as a grid. The overall layout is a collection of sections. You can pick as many as you like, and in whichever order you like.
Pick your sections.
You can have multiple sections of the same overall type but with different parameters and customizations to suit the way you've built your vault.
Consider your options!
Within each section, Home Cards gives you tons of freedom and flexibility to further personalize what you see. It supports advanced filtering, so you can customize a section to see only cards from a specific folder, notes that have specific properties/ property values, or specific tags, or any combination of the above. Home Cards also offers some smart section types that you will immediately find useful. For example, you can create sections for your most or least popular notes (i.e. with the most and least links respectively) to help you rediscover your content. Or, you could add a 'Continue working' section that tracks the notes you typically open together, so you can get back into your work quicker.
If you use my other plugin, Relate, then Home Cards can list the results of a Relate search, a note's page in Home Cards gives each relationship a section of its own, and its Related to recent work section names the relationship behind each card.
Last but not the least, the header on your home page is a delightful little thing that automatically customize your greeting in different languages, or based on the time of day or other parameters.
An ever changing header.
There's a lot more to discover. Home Cards is Obsidian-native (clean code, no hacks) and works well/ looks great with other common plugins (for example, Home Cards looks especially great with my favorite plugin Notebook Navigator, shoutout to u/jsann).
Hey so I'm very new to obsidian and have run into a problem with the theme I'm using not having an option to change the accent colour (i might be unable to locate it, but I've looked multiple times.)
I'm using the theme underwater, and while the majority of it is great, a few things are stuck in this dusty pink. Such as my backlinks and graph view (when hovered over, and my settings are also pink.) i downloaded style settings so i could change it but can't find the option anywhere.
If someone could give me a solution I'd greatly appreciate it!
I am finding that I want my partner to use Obsidian with me. I currently pay the $8/month plan because I use more than one vault. I’m trying to move her over from Apple notes and I am struggling to justify another $36/year to myself on top of knowing it will be a little bit complicated for her. I don’t even know that she would use it for more than the one shared vault I want.
I could see this as just adding a second user to the Plus subscription and only giving them access to shared vaults.
Or a new “Sync Plus One” that gives you the extra account, puts something like 8 vaults on the primary and 2 on the secondary.
Being able to do a family of 9 (yeah we are insane) would be great but I can see how that many free accounts using a shared vault would cut into business revenue.
